I'm interested in this exchange now.

Carton has had this shite on lock for a while now. You may well be right, I don't know. I hope there are some good details coming up.

I am sure the CNN is just waiting to break a story about all of Trumps appointees being former Klan members or at least Ole Miss fans.

This is a fricking joke. Huckabee is the worst choice possible. If this is true, then we can forget any "swamp draining" for good.


In all seriousness, who gives a flip who it actually is. The real news here is moving the embassy.

Now on Huckabee, I think the real news is that he is a Pastor by trade. Much more in the symbolism than in the effectual value.

I don't particularly like Mike Huckabee - but I like him for this role and he seems to be somewhat of a DC outsider.

Right, ambassadors are bullshite mostly. It's a way to reward donors, friends and allies. It's a cushy government job with lots of galas and parties. Anyone that thinks this is a big deal, needs to research the kind of people who are currently our ambassadors.

Huckabee was a great Trump surrogate this year. Another loyalty pick for Trump.

Seems like Trump is allowing loyalty to really influence his picks. I'm kind of surprised by it.

I am exactly correct.I have been to every single one of the countries mentioned in an official capacity. Check your delusions breh.

Israel is not a 5 eyes partner and are not a big league intelligence partner in any sense of the word.

WIKI

We DO NOT have advanced staging capabilities in Israel. Our primary staging areas are large airfields in Muslim countries such as Qatar, Turkey, Kuwait and Saudi. We have a stronger mil to mil relationship with Lebanon than we have with Israel, despite the BILLIONS in weapons deals and defense funding we give to Israel.


Get real dude. You have no clue what you are talking about.

Same here "breh." For you to say Israel is not a large intel partner, or that we have no staging capability there, is laughable if you've done what you say you have, especially in a military capacity.

We have no theater operations staging capability there. End of story.

They are no a big league intelligence partner. End of Story.

This has not been confirmed and a Trump team official has said it isn't true.
